JayIsGames IF competition opens

This is one of the first big modern-IF events to occur outside the IF community. (The extended federation of IF communities, I should say, since there are many.) This comp has clearly gotten the attention of IF regulars; I see several familiar names on the game page -- Stephen Granade, Jim Aikin, Jim Munroe, among others -- as well as many who are entirely new to me. I am keen to find out both what the new authors are writing, and how the new players react to (what I think of as) the established talents of the field.

Voting is open for the next three weeks, and anyone can vote (you have to sign up). Enjoy.

Note that several people are reporting problems playing certain games with the "Flash" interpreter options. "Javascript" seems to be working for everybody.

(These are two separate Z-code interpreters. The Javascript one is slower and not as convenient for saving games. Unfortunately, it's the one that works.)

Update: the Flash interpreter has been given a bug fix, which (reportedly) solves the problems people have been having.

No. Sorry, but i'm still having problems with the Flash interpreter.

Thought it was a problem with the game i was playing, but the 'no responce at all - just jumps to the next line with a prompt' problem(bug?) is still happening. Happened in a few of the games now.
